Vinson Massif is located at 78.6341° S and the South Pole is located at 90° S. Calculated in a straight line, the distance is 784.2471 miles between those two points.
The Vinson Massif is the highest mountain of Antarctica, located about 1,200 km (750 mi) from the South Pole.
Vinson Massif is the highest mountain of Antarctica, lying in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, which stand above the Ronne Ice Shelf near the base of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Lima, Peru is about 5,386 miles north of the South Pole.
The Earth has a magnetic field around it. The magnetic North is close to what we call the North Pole. The magnetic South is at the South Pole. There is a magnetic North and South and a geographic North and South pole.
The scientists and workers studying the health of planet Earth at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Research Station live closest to the South Pole -- on a temporary basis.
The closest "city" to the South Pole (Antarctica) would be Punta Arenas in Chile. The closest "town" to the South Pole (Antarctica) would be Ushuaia in Argentina.

well if you look at the equator it is closer to the equator then the south pole

The south pole of a magnetic compass is pulled towards the Earth's north magnetic pole, and away from Earth's south magnetic pole. Or towards and away the corresponding poles of any other magnet. Note that Earth's NORTH magnetic pole is close to the SOUTH pole.
